Breaking Ice with Air cushion Vehicle - Find minimum pressure with Newton-Raphson method

Objective: Equation for Ice Breaking with an Air Cushion Vehicle:- `p^3*(1-beta^3)+(0.4*h*beta^2-(sigma*h^2)/r^2)*p^2+(sigma^2*h^4)/(3*r^4)*p-((sigma*h^2)/(3*r^2))^3=0` p = pressure h = thickness of the ice `sigma= " tensile strength of the ice"` r = size of the air cushion `beta="Function of width of the ice…
